Impact of Actions on Feelings

Just as your feelings inspire your actions, similarly actions also

have an impact on your feelings and thoughts. That’s the
reason we are told time and again to keep our thoughts,
speech and actions pure and positive.

It is apparent that our mind is enveloped by auspicious
thoughts not while listening to movie songs or partying with
women but while listening to slow devotional songs and
worshipping saints.

Actions affect your thoughts

A man filled with hatred for a saint decided to kill him. He
hired a few killers and offered them a large sum saying,
“Tonight the saint should be killed.” The killers had nothing
to do with the saint. All that mattered to them was their
money. Greed of money had blinded their ability to
distinguish between right and wrong, good and bad. Hence,
wise men call – Greed ----> Destroyer of all virtues.

Anger destroys Love,
Pride destroys Humility,
